Palo Alto Networks' firewalls have three layers that can be used for http. SSL decryption capabilities can be added. I believe all are at an additional cost: * Threat protection: Antivirus, anti-spyware and vulnerability protection * URL filtering to include malware and phishing categories. * Wildfire: Similar to Fireeye used for uploading exe files into a virtual environment to evaluate for malicious activity. PDFs are coming soon. If the firewall permits it, then the IPS usually takes action. While we do not have specific statistics, we see that we have better visibility and thus, better responses to threats. Now if we can get users to stop using Dropbox to share their malware, we would be in good shape. Got a Phish (email)? Forward it to <mailto:abuse () nsu edu> abuse () nsu edu!

Sent: Monday, September 30, 2013 10:18 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Secure Web Gateway Hi All, I was wondering what secure web gateway solutions universities are using to help mitigate/block web sites that contain malware? What solution do you use and what has been your experience? Has this substantially reduced the amount of computers infected with malware associated with web browsing?
